By definition, summer sausage is a blend of spiced muscle, fat and organ meat encased in a single casing. Smoking summer sausage creates a flavorful, pasteurized meat that accents anything from pizza to pasta. Absorbing smoky air for several hours also solidifies the sausage shape by drawing proteins to the surface. Remember that power levels and procedures vary by smoking device. Always consult the directions and guidelines specific to your smoking device to ensure the best quality summer sausage.
